John - It will be interesting to see what the Ocean View Cemetery administration has to say about this when they are contacting the Veteran's Groups for planning the upcoming 2017 Memorial Day Ceremonies.

I am sure those of us Veterans there for the Memorial Day Ceremony in our uniforms or without, will want to ask questions about this issue of playing golf in the Veteran's section of Ocean View Cemetery. Let alone the discussions happening among the local Veterans before then.

Once again thank you for providing coverage on local issues that do not show up in the local news outlets here on the North Coast!

John - Have you reached out to any local Veteran's Group for comment? I want to hear what they have to say. This is a BIG story. Thank you for being on top of it. No one else respects veterans. Prove that you do. Thank you.

P.S. It might be good to see if the Eureka City Council can do anything about this.

John - I trust you know what you are doing. You always do such a good job. Good idea about the Chamber of Commerce. You could go to a meeting and raise holy hell and that might make them act. Hopefully you will email some people about this. Look forward to another story.

Being a Marine Corps Vet having participated with and been a member in a few of the various local Veterans Service Organizations, I will try to reach out to my fellow local Vets to pass along this story of the employees playing golf among the graves in the Veterans section of Ocean View Cemetery. The video evidence is difficult to dispute! To me those sure looked like golf clubs in the employee's hand.

Most of the local Veterans Organizations only meet once a month, yet there will soon be several meetings including local veterans to coordinate the various 2017 Memorial Day Ceremonies throughout Humboldt County, with one of them occurring at Ocean View Cemetery.

Plus I imagine this unfolding story will be a topic of discussion down at the local VA Clinic waiting room in Eureka.

By the way.....HAS ANYONE seen a golf ball in that video?? I'm pretty sure I can answer that for all....NO!!!! There was no golf ball. The club was found by the grounds crew and they guy took a swing. Oh and by the way neither of them are golfers. Had these ladies videoing this just asked them none of this would have even been an issue!!

I am pretty sure that no one wants you to answer for them. Had you paid attention to the reporting or the video, the women did try and talk to the men. Unless you have xray vision and super sight and/or are psychic, you are either one of the men involved or someone who knows them. The men are not being paid to golf. Even if they just found a golf club, which you have not proved, they are not being paid to tee off at work. They can golf on their own time at a golf course.
